Hi, Then I have to apologize to you. I read your post as yet another "lets get rid of capitalism"-thread. There are still an awful lot of words, that I have to look up... But as an European, there is still a lot America has to offer, for what we envy you. There is no way to truly divest from...

Hi, Wow.. And you wonder why things get worse? America was great, because it originally has not been in authority for anyones "needs". If you enable the government to care for the fate of every citizen, you've created a f-king Nanny-state, whose bureaucrats overbid themselves in the care of...

Hi, I dont get it. The system is already changing. And you, as an American, already had the best system in place, humanity could have come up with (we may fight about the question, when and where things went wrong). I believe, that chaos is inherently following change. People adjust to the...

Hi, Hmm.. I'm still not convinced, that the human evolution is at the heart of this thing, called forth industrial revolution. And I never thought about it as something, that could change humanity. But yeah.. i see there might be a real possibility to alter humankind as such. I've got this...

Hi, From what I've witnessed, that's not what is happening. Instead of working less, people tend to spend more. And if that scenario describes a family, it would totally make sense, if they would work otherwise, instead of just doing nothing. Maybe they would send one to get an education or...

Hello everybody, i'm pretty sure you all read about the letter, Freemason Alter Pike wrote to someone called Mazzini in the 19th century. Since I heard about this, it occasionally crosses my mind. And although i am aware of the many objections regarding authenticity and so on, i would really...

You shouldn't do any of this kind. What makes you (or anyone) believe, we could shape reality, other than through our actions? Listen to your conscience and don't numb your mind with this esoteric quackery. You don't learn anything through repetition, or some kind of magic. You just force...

- ibid. Its kind of fascinating (and, of course, disturbing) to comprehend this eugenic thinking. But, as I understand him, he considers the Jewish people already as a vast mixture of races (presumable due to dispersion). But also, due to persecution, as 'inbreed' ever since. The whole first...

Hi, ever since I read 'Das schwarze Reich' (The Black Reich), I was bewildered by the fact, that Hitlers (and others) fascination about mysticism is commonly unknown. Almost nobody knows about the Thule society, the (supposedly) indo-germanic origin of the Übermensch and its parallels to...

Well.. thanks for clarification, @Gnome . We were debating the idea of god being both, good and evil, as you may have noticed. Which, after browsing the wikipedia-article you have so kindly posted, seems to be a subset of dualism. So.. in reality we have been discussing bitheism vs ditheism...

Hi Aero, Your citations merely say, that God is not an anti-authoritarian parent (the worst thing you could do to a child). Of course he is capable of causing bad things to happen, like the plaques or natural disasters. But this is very far from being evil. An evil entity would do this for the...

The concept of dualism doesn't originate from the bible, how can there be any doubt about this? You may read it into it, as you seem fond of the idea, mixing religious ideas from different sources. But the bible clearly states, that God is without evil. Hmm.. there wasnt really much...

Hi Aero, I am totally aware of the fact, that the interpretation of the bible by one group, is a misinterpretation for any other group. But your dualistic "god", both "Good" and "Evil", Male and Female, clearly is the adversary of Christianity. Its just contradictory, if you hold onto the...

Hi, since at least 1988, there has even been a decline (of about half a degree Celsius) of the earth's average temperature. The New York Times from June, 24 1988: The average temperature between 1950 and 1980 has been ~15,4°C (or 59.7° F). The allegedly warmest year of climate history has been...

Very true, and thank God for that. Yeah.. thats what Jordan Peterson would have said. But naturally, this is very hard for atheists to explain rationally, and usually come up with another type of myth. Which is..just humane, i think. Kind regards, Threepwood
